VIDEO: Antonio Rudiger is lethal! Real Madrid defender goes flying in on Kylian Mbappe with wild tackle as France star leaves him flat on his back with amazing dribble in training

Mbappe may just feel he has a point to prove when he returns to action after coming in for criticism following a dismal performance in El Clasico. The result has left Barcelona six points clear of their bitter rivals in the league table, while Mbappe matching a 15-year-old record by being caught offside on eight occasions. Mbappe was expected to take La Liga by storm after arriving from Paris Saint-Germain but is yet to find his best form and appears instead to have upset the balance in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

Madrid will need to improve at both ends of the pitch if they are to see off Milan on Tuesday. Ancelotti’s side should be well-rested for the game though, as Saturday’s La Liga fixture against Valencia has been postponed after the flash foods in the region.
